6 Claims, No Drawings 1 NORBORNYLAMINOACETANILIDES SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is concerned with compounds of the formula A:

(L I I X l R CH2 NHR and a haloacetanilide of the Formula C:

wherein Y is a halogen and R, R and X are as previously defined. The reaction proceeds best in a polar solvent such as isopropyl alcohol and in the presence of a catalytic amount of potassium iodide. An inorganic base such as sodium bicarbonate can be conveniently used to neutralize the acid formed in the reaction. Upon completion of the reaction, water is added, the solvent is evaporated and the residue extracted with chloroform. The free base thus formed is recovered by concentrating the extract and thereafter dissolved in an ether or acetone-isopropyl alcohol mixture containing I-ICl or HBr to obtain the hydrochloride or hydrobromide which precipitates and is isolated as a white solid by filtration.

The norbornylamines employed as starting materials are known or can be prepared by known methods as described in J.A.C.S., 61, 521 (1939) or J.A.C.S., 73, 5068 (1951 The primary amines thus prepared can be alkylated as set forth in German Pat. Nos. 1,110,.159 and 1,110,160. All the haloacetanilides employed herein are known compounds.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS EXAMPLE 1 R is methyl, R is phenyl and X is p-fluoro in Formula A.

A mixture of 4.94 grams (0.015 mole) of N-methyl- 3-phenyl-2-norbornylamine hydroiodide, 2.81 grams (0.015 mole) of a-chloro-p-fluoroacetanilide and 5 grams of NaI-ICO in 150 ml. of isopropyl alcohol containing ml. of water was heated under reflux for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was then cooled, 300 ml. of water was added and the isopropyl alcohol was evaporated under vacuum. The residue was extracted with chloroform, dried and concentrated to yield 5.2 grams of a-[ N-methyl-N-( 3 -phenyl-2-norbornyl)lamino-p-fluoroacetanilide as the free base which was identified by its infrared spectrum. The free base was dissolved in ml. of ether and 10 ml. of 1.8 normal hydrochloric acid in isopropanol was added. The hydrochloride precipitated as a white solid and was found to melt at 252 C. Upon analysis this salt contained 7.06 percent nitrogen compared to the theoretical amount of 7.20 percent nitrogen.

EXAMPLE 2 R is methyl, R is phenyl and X is p-hydroxy in Formula A EXAMPLE 3 R is ethyl, R is phenyl and X is p-ethoxy in Formula A.

To a mixture of 2.53 grams (0.01 mole) of N-ethyl-3- phenyl-2-norbomylamine hydrochloride (melting at 222 C.) in ml. of 2-propanol was added 4 grams of NaHCO and 2 grams of potassium iodide followed by 2.15 grams of a-chloro-p-ethoxyacetanilide. Ten ml. of water was added and the mixture heated under reflux overnight. The free base was isolated as described in Example 1 and converted to the hydrochloride of a-[N- ethyl-N-(3-phenyl-2-norbornyl)]arnino-p-ethoxyacetanilide in a yield of 3.01 grams as a white solid with a melting point of 226 C. which analyzed'6.46 percent nitrogen compared to 6.53 percent nitrogen calculated.

In like manner, 3-halophenyl-2-norbornylamines or 3-alkoxyphenyl-2-norbornylamines can be reacted with an appropriate tar-haloacetanilide of Formula C to obtain other compounds of Formula A considered to be within the the scope of the present invention. The free bases of these compounds are readily converted and can be conveniently isolated as pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts by methods well known to those skilled in the art of chemistry.
